Chapter 683 Thoughtful

“Thank you very much for just going out and buying those things back for me. I didn’t know you were such a thoughtful person, even knowing to buy a packet of brown sugar. I—”

“The store owner gave me this. I thought it was a waste to throw it away, so I made a cup and drank it earlier. Not bad. I feel warm now.”

Words choked in her throat, and she realized she had overthought. ‘No way a man like Gilbert, with his eccentric, unpredictable, and cold face, could possibly be so thoughtful to know this. It was already so nice of him willing to go out and buy me the sanitary pads. The way he treats me now is so much better than before. I can’t be greedy to expect more from him.’

The brown sugar drink had an exceptionally warming effect and relieved the pain in Kisa’s belly. “It is late. Why don’t you go to bed? You have to drive tomorrow,” she said.

Gilbert shook his head as he fiddled with his cigarette pack, seemingly wanting to smoke but hesitating.

Kisa thought he was concerned about her, so she quickly said, “Go ahead and smoke. It doesn’t matter.”

She was not as weak as before when she could not even tolerate the smell of cigarette smoke, but Gilbert still did not smoke. He just put the cigarette pack into his pocket.

He was silent for a while before speaking all of a sudden. ” We need to be extra careful for the next few days, and we must get to that mountain village as soon as possible.”

Kisa’s grip on the cup tightened. “What is wrong? Is it because of the two killers?”

“More than a dozen men are coming to kill us this time.”

“What?” Kisa’s heart skipped a beat. “That many?”

“We have to be careful, regardless. Whatever you do, don’t act alone.” Gilbert looked serious.

Kisa tensed up and nodded her head vigorously. “Okay.”

It was almost 5.00 a.m. before Gilbert fell asleep. He did not go back to his room but slept on the couch. Kisa did not feel sleepy. So she took the quilt from the bed and put it over him, then sat down in the chair by the window to think about things. She occasionally glanced at Gilbert with mixed feelings.

There had been attempts on their lives by some mysterious people as soon as they left Calthon, so it seemed that Gilbert had really nothing to do with the prison fire. This time, there were over ten killers, and the other party knew her and Gilbert’s whereabouts like the back of their hand, and there were still a lot of unknown dangers ahead. So Kisa suddenly hesitated to go to that mountain village to find the two jailers.

Still, the fact that someone was trying to stop them from seeing the two jailers suggested that the two jailers must know something, and she might be able to unearth the truth about the prison fire from those two jailers. She was worried for the safety of the two jailers before she and Gilbert could get to them. She had doubts, hesitations, and a strong sense of anxiety.

It dawned late in winter. It was not until after 7.00 a.m. the sky was completely bright.

While Gilbert was still asleep, Kisa had quietly ordered breakfast. She had been up most of the night, and her face looked haggard. She went to the bathroom, washed her face, and then took another hot shower. She felt much more refreshed when she came out and had changed into outerwear, ready to head out. When she came out of her bedroom, Gilbert was already awake, and the breakfast she had ordered had been brought over and was sitting on the coffee table. He seemed to have just woken up and still looked groggy.

He got up and said, “I will go wash my face. You can first have your breakfast.”

Kisa had been deep in thought at the window for so long. She clenched her hands when she saw Gilbert awake and quickly called out to him.
